2025 CHEVY BLAZER EV SS: BEST VALUE PERFORMANCE SUV?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV SS is presented as a compelling performance-oriented SUV, finally arriving after a long anticipation. The reviewer highlights its significant power increase to 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 3.4-second 0-60 mph time with the 'Wide Open Watts' mode. Key features noted include the larger 102 kWh battery, 190 kW DC fast charging capability (though the charging curve is deemed not particularly great for road trips), and SS-specific Brembo brakes with gold calipers. The interior is largely familiar to the RS trim, featuring a digital gauge cluster, a large infotainment screen with Google integration, and comfortable Evotex seating. While the reviewer is impressed by the performance for the price point (starting around $61,995, with the tested model at $65,115), they also point out the continued use of the CCS charging port and the slower power flap. The reviewer suggests this SS variant might be the most recommendable in the Blazer EV lineup for its performance value, especially when considering potential tax credits, positioning it as a strong middle ground in the performance EV market.
